Laboratory <br />analyses show that both wells exceed the recommend~d limit of <br />500 mg. per liter. Hardness has been found to be 40 to 50 <br />grains hardness. <br /> <br />Selenium exists in the water near the maximum allowable limit <br />of 0.01 mg/l. Sulfites and nitrates each have been found to <br />exceed the maximum recommended 1 imi ts of 250 mg/l and <br />45 mg/l respectively. <br /> <br />The water used from these wells is of poor quality and may <br />create health problems as well as various other problems <br />relating to normal use of the water for municipal use. The <br />chemical properties and analysis of the water is described <br />and discussed in detail in Appendix C Sanitary Survey Report. <br /> <br />2. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM <br /> <br />Although some improvements were made to the distribution system <br />in Hudson in 1964, there are yet mains and appurtenances vlhich <br />are undersized and/or in need of replacement. Distribution lines <br />of one inch and two inch plastic and steel exist in many areas <br />as well as some old cast iron mains. These water mains are not <br />capable of providing good water service to all consumers. <br /> <br />Additionally, increased capacities in mains for fire protection <br />are required in many locations. Looping of water mains in many <br />areas of the Town would assist in providing supplemental supply <br />for normal use as well as for fire protection. Exhibit I-A <br />shows the existing distribution system. <br /> <br />There are no master meters on the well heads or individual <br />meters within the Town to allow recording of usage, output of <br />the wells, or the establishment of records to determine operation <br />and maintenance needs throughout the system. The Town does not <br />own any major maintenance equipment for maintaining or installing <br />new facilities. The Town normally contracts for these services <br /> <br />II - 3 <br />
